# Instructions:
01 -
Crank up your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it’s heating, grease your muffin tin with butter or cooking spray to keep things from sticking.

Grab a medium bowl and whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder until it's all mixed in nicely.
03 -
In another bowl, stir together the egg, milk, and melted butter until smooth and well blended.
04 -
Pour the dry mix into your wet ingredients a little at a time, gently folding to combine. Stir in half the mozzarella, but don’t overdo it—keep the batter light!
05 -
Scoop a bit of batter into each muffin cup. Add a spoonful of marinara and a few pepperoni slices, then top with more batter. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella and extra pepperoni on top.
06 -
Bake for 20 minutes until they’re golden brown and filling your kitchen with an amazing smell.
07 -
Let them cool just a little, then toss some fresh basil on top for the perfect garnish. Serve warm and savor every bite!
